He said Ubuntu 16, I believe the Amazon search fiasco was in 2012. He simply hasn't been using Linux long enough to know that Ubuntu used to be good. His baseline user experience is probably gnome 3.

So he's comparing extra-shitty Ubuntu to shitty Ubuntu and saying it didn't used to be shitty.

I know that amazon search was there also in 16.04 because it was my first distro and in my country i only briefly heard about amazon so it looked cool to me to have one button to order something but i never clicked on it because i tought it only works in rich countries or something. At that time i didnt gave a crap about privacy i was sold on it because i liked the design of unity and the fact that it looks different than school pcs with windows so it didnt remind me school

Ubuntu actually still had the unity desktop environment when I started using it. And I wasn't happy when they switched to gnome. Thats part of why I stopped using it
